Stuff Happens: Tony Dinozzo/ Emily Prentiss from Criminal Minds:

Yes this mentions Paula Cassidy dying but there is no Jeanne Benoit situation in it. I know before someone flames me I am taking some of Tony's past out but I can also have her death be from a different cause if I want. Tony can still have been there though. Borrowed the spitfire line from dusty tiger. Emily Prentiss can be seen on Criminal Minds DVD's seasons 2-7. Or the various cable channels that play the reruns for those who don't watch the show.

He kept thinking about raspberry and vanilla as he sat at his desk. She had smelled like it when they had met the previous night. It wasn't one of his better moments though. She had called him on his bull and then he found himself even more intrigued by Agent Prentiss. It was a rough week and the cannelloni had been incredible that Dave had made. Penelope seemed happy with him and Tony was glad to see that. Kevin Lynch had almost torn her apart.

Gibbs walked over toward him. "Need you to test fire a few guns for me with Abby? The original bullet from our scene is pretty banged up. Need a better one from a fresher Glock. "

Tony said "On it boss. I'll be down with Abby."

Gibbs looked at him. "Are you doing ok Dinozzo? I know that Agent Cassidy was more than a coworker with you. "

He shrugged. "I don't have the right to hurt. We had what we had. It was casual, she wanted it that way, not me."

Gibbs looked at him. "Doesn't mean you have to feel nothing Tony. Her life was taken too soon, that is painful for anybody."

Tony looked at him. "No offense but don't be nice. You're not Gibbs when you're nice."

Gibbs smacked him on the back of the head with not a lot of heat. "That better, Dinozzo?"

He smiled. "Much, now I have some guns to go play with for a while. Love a good few hours of shooting something." He headed to the elevator and pushed the button to go down to Abby's lab.

McGee said "Think you snapped Tony back boss. I kind of missed him, he's been way too quiet the last few days."

Gibbs replied "He needs to open up to someone. But then if Abby can't hug it out of him nobody can."

Ziva said "So is there not a weapon for him to test?"

Gibbs nodded. "There is, he just needs a little dark princess time first. It's a cold case so it's not going anywhere."

McGee said "Hmm sneaky. I like it a lot." "Think I will order Tony some pizza, he loves Luigi's. Says they know his usual off by heart when he calls."

Ziva said "I will go find the Dr. Pepper and what are those chips, cheddar cheese and sour cream, Plays?"

McGee said "Lays." "The corner gas station sells them, only place he gets a bag from. "

Gibbs smiled. "Nice, I think Tony needs a little family love right now. " He saw a business card on Tony's desk and read the name. Hmm so you have a new friend Tony. Bet she's a spitfire to keep up with you. Hope she helps you heal too.
